Towards Automated Variability-Aware Machine-Learning-Based Modeling Analysis
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Data analysis involves the use of a wide variety of systems and libraries to support the exploration and development of models that can uncover valuable patterns and enable individuals and businesses to draw informed insights. However, efforts towards the automation of the ML-based data analysis modeling process faces numerous challenges. In this paper, we describe our ongoing work towards the automation of the data analysis modeling phase based on a variability-aware approach. This approach involves capturing the variabilities through feature models, designing an automated framework to support the analysis, and developing use cases. The work advances the state of the art in the development of methods and tools to support the automation of ML-based data analysis.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
